REDHAT-BUG-1652194
First published: Wed Nov 21 2018(Updated: )
GNOME Keyring through 3.28.2 allows local users to retrieve login credentials via a Secret Service API call and the D-Bus interface if the keyring is unlocked, a similar issue to <a href="https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2008-7320">CVE-2008-7320</a>. One perspective is that this occurs because available D-Bus protection mechanisms (involving the busconfig and policy XML elements) are not used.
